Cenk Uygur is convinced.... Bernie Sanders is THE Democratic front runner. Nationally. Not just in Iowa or New Hampshire.
The host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down, including how one campaign is using metrics today that are different from just a few month ago about what determines who is the front runner, and what he thinks about the race today, and going forward nationally -- not just in New Hampshire and Iowa.
An interesting review for sure

(2,397 posts)I hope more people than Cenk feel the same way. Cenk said Obama was not in as good a position as Senator
Sanders is. So what position was Obama in after after Iowa? Five points back? Ten? Fifteen? No national support?
Just thinking out loud here.

We cannot stop working for Bernie. We need to increase our efforts to get people to know Bernie.

(55,981 posts)Don't you agree? Why not embrace debates? This is supposedly the DEmocratic Party.

(1,968 posts)And your proof is what, just an assumption?
Damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.
How hasn't she not embraced debates? She doesn't set the rules.

(3,795 posts)She just officially declared she's a moderate and her foreign policy speech sounded as hawkish as any Republican (painting Iran as a "subject" and not a partner amongst other beauts).
Hillary will have the voting machines in her favor though. So, Bernie will have to have a comfortable lead, and it's possible he will do just that.

(45,806 posts)I also wanted a President Dean, and the media tricksters took him down.
I really hope Bernie pulls it off, but I put NOTHING past the media and the party insiders.

(50,983 posts)We will just have to come up with a new narrative. Bernie's a pacifist!
I don't think that one will fly. The Bush Administration claimed the Iraq War would be free. The Iraq War turned out to cost the American people several trillion dollars. And Dubya cut taxes to top it off. Great thinking there, Dubya.
But that was okay because the Righties® could claim that 'entitlements' were the cause of the deficit. Well, that isn't flying with the American people. After all this war the American people wouldn't even mind a pacifist for change. Even though Bernie isn't really a pacifist. Bernie simply believes war should be a last resort not a first falsified choice.
